Ask me anything.

I thought "What is the actual point, there is nothing interesting about me that I've talked about on GBAtemp and this is a dumb trend", but then I realised
a) No harm in doing so
b) people can freely ask programming and hardware questions and I love answering those

So ask away

I met Diema in a MGS3 Online discord. I was fairly active there, and he just DMed me one day saying "Would you be interested in hearing about a Metal Gear inspired fan game", and that sort of spiralled from there.

Ok seriously

What are your honest opinions on the Nintendo Switch video game system released by Nintendo on March 2017 and features games such as Zelda Breath of The Wild, Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey

I feel like ultimately, people are getting too excited about it. I think it's a good concept and it's good that people who didn't own a Wii U are experiencing some of the great games Nintendo made in the space of 5 years, but it's been almost 18 months on the market and the only tempting exclusive is Odyssey.

Not a big Splatoon person anymore but from what I can tell, 2 looks extremely similar to 1, so it's cool but it's a "more of the same" game. Which is a shame, because that's incredibly unoriginal from a company that thrives on innovating tirelessly and I feel like Nintendo are sleepwalking through the Switch by porting Wii U games. Of course, Odyssey exists, and the fifth iteration of Smash is coming, but that's 2 games. Is that enough to sell a system?

The biggest selling point of it isn't even that new or unique. It's been attempted before since the Sega Nomad in the 90s, in an incredibly similar fashion, and the PSP Go was basically an uncanny prediction of the Switch concept (with docking and wireless control and the like).

What I tend to do for that, because I'm in a similar situation with my PSP which only supports WEP and WPA, is I use my phone as a mobile hotspot with no password or encryption. Should have no issue detecting it.

Alternatively, you could set up a WEP network on your router, although that's a little bit messy.

All I have for a phone is an iPhone that won't let me set up a hotspot with no password, so I guess I'll see if I can figure out how to make the router work with the DS somehow. Thanks for the answer though. :)

    good night
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    as to you
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
